About Ninedots

Rebecca is the heart and driving force behind Ninedots Build Advocates and the pioneer of Australia’s first truly independent build advisory model, now expanded nationally through Build Advocates Australia. A Geelong-based expert in residential construction, she specialises in builder selection, property investment acquisition, and end-to-end support for new home projects, drawing on both her professional background and extensive personal new build experience.
With over 20 years’ experience across finance, real estate, construction and project management, Rebecca felt a real need for clearer, more accessible, and truly independent support during the new build journey and wanted to create a service that reduced the risk, made the process more enjoyable, and helped people build with confidence.
Passionate, thoughtful and results-driven, Rebecca has a knack for solving problems with creativity and clarity. Whether clients are unsure where to begin or facing challenges mid-build, she brings structure, insight and practical solutions that genuinely make a difference.
Her market knowledge is sought after by homebuyers, downsizers and investors alike. She remains personally involved in every part of the Ninedots Build Advocates process, from first plans to final handover, while also leading the broader Build Advocates network nationally.
Outside of work, Rebecca enjoys spending time with her husband Steve and three kids, exploring new places, discovering new food, and working creatively on personal construction projects. Her heart lies firmly with family and all things Ninedots, anyone who knows her knows she wouldn’t have it any other way!

Steve is a seasoned Building Inspector with deep roots in the Victorian building scene. For over 10 years, he has been managing new home projects, bringing in-depth, practical knowledge and a reputation for excellence that makes him widely sought after for independent building inspections. He ensures builds are delivered to a high standard, completed on time, and handled with as little stress as possible.
He is known for his calm, collaborative approach and strong working relationships with builders, supervisors, and clients. Steve brings a sharp eye, solid technical knowledge, and a solutions-focused mindset to every project. He helps clients feel informed and supported, while ensuring supervisors feel respected and engaged throughout the process.
Before earning his Advanced Diploma in Building and Surveying, Steve built a successful career in the automotive industry, owning his own workshop and leading service teams for Volkswagen and Honda. After building and renovating countless homes alongside his wife and Ninedots founder Rebecca, he officially joined the team to offer clients the same hands-on support they once needed themselves.
In his downtime, Steve lives and breathes basketball. He loves watching, coaching, collecting shoes, and travelling to games. He even dreams of doing site visits in his LA Clippers jersey. The fact that Ninedots Build Advocates shares initials with NBA is a lucky coincidence, but one Steve has fully embraced.
